That Printing Job.

After tacitly ''confessing the corn" rs TO
our showing up the double allowance made
him for printing the ordinances, the Cres'
set man, after two months delay, at last
makes a feeble effort to raise dust to OBJ
scure the facts. For this purpose he adj
duces letters from the San Antonio Express
and Times Offices in answer to inquiries
which he addressed them, and evidently on
his own version of the case, which seem
partially to sustain him. OF course opin-
ions thus formed and given amount to
nothing, when opposed to the facts we have
given, and to the further fact which we now
.tate, that Mr.. W. d. Ward, a good practi-
cal printer, then on the ground, and well
posted as to the matter, assured us that he
proposed to do the job-which he estimated
at rs pages, supposing, as any sensible man
would that it was intended to comprise the
ordinances complete-for $65. The facts
remain that Hull did the job without au-
thority from the Mayor or Council;
Mayor Giesen and Councilman Donaldson
so informed us; that he only printed the
criminal part of the ordinances-about one
half the job and that he was allowed $1oo
for printing 80 pages of ordinances and
transferring the same forms to his paper,
while Ward proposed to print rs pages for
$e5. He only withdrew his bid, as he in
formed us, because he saw thathe could not
get fair deal.
Finally, (not to consume space unneces'
sarily on this subjecD, if it was not intend
ed to favor Hull in this matter. why were
not bids allowed, as expressly pro 7ided by
the ordinancesp That would have effectually
settled the question as to how low the work
could have been proftably done. The fol-
lowing is the ordnance which was deliberately
disregarded and set at defiance by the Coun-
Gil and committee on printing in the inter
est of the Cresset:
Contracts for the printing Of the town
shall be awarded by the Mayor and Printing
Committee, under authority of the Town
Council, to the lowest and best responsible
bidder, after advertisement for sealed pro-
posals as in case of other contracts.
